Java Decision Structures
Decision Making: Equality and RelaUonal Operators

• Condition :
• An expression that can be true or false.
• if selection statement :
• Allows a program to make a decision based on a condition’s value.
• Equality operators :
• (== and !=)
• Relational operators :
• (>, <, >= and <=)

Decision Making: Equality and RelaUonal Operators
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int a, b;
// prompt for input
System.out.print("Enter two integer values a and b: ");
a = input.nextInt(); // read first number
b = input.nextInt(); // read second number
if (a == b) {
System.out.printf("%d and %d are equal.%n", a, b);
}
if (a != b) {
System.out.printf("%d and %d are NOT equal. %n", a,
b);
}
if (a > b) {
System.out.printf("%d > %d %n", a, b); }
SelecUon Statements in Java
if statement:
• Performs an action, if a condition is true; skips it, if false.
• Single-selection statement—selects or ignores a single action (or
group of actions).
if…else statement:
• Performs an action if a condition is true and performs a different
action (or groups of actions) if the condition is false.
switch statement
• Performs one of several actions (or groups of actions), based on the
value of an expression.
if Single-SelecUon Statement
if…else Double-SelecUon Statement
if…else Double-SelecUon Statement
Nested if…else Statements:
• A program can test multiple cases by placing if…else statements inside
other if…else statements to create nested if…else statements.
if…else Double-SelecUon Statement
Conditional operator (?:) : shorthand if…else. Ternary operator (takes
three operands)
• Operands and ?: form a conditional expression
• Operand to the left of the ? is a boolean expression—evaluates to a
boolean value (true or false)
• Second operand (between the ? and :) is the value if the boolean
expression is true
• Third operand (to the right of the :) is the value if the boolean
expression evaluates to false.
CondiUonal operator?
Nested if…else Statement
• Nested if statements can become very complex.
• The if-else-if statement makes certain types of
nested decision logic simpler to write.
• Care must be used since else statements match up
with the immediately preceding unmatched if
statement.
Nested if…else Statement
Logical Operators
• Java provides two binary logical operators (&& and ||) that are used to
combine boolean expressions.
• Java also provides one unary (!) logical operator to reverse the truth of
a boolean expression.
Logical OR Logical AND
Expression 1 Expression 2 Expression1 || Expression2 Expression 1 Expression 2 Expression1 && Expression2
true false true true false false

false true true false true false

false false false false false false

true true true true true true

Expression 1 !Expression1

true false
Logical NOT
false true
Logical Operators
The switch Statement
• The if-else statement allows you to make
true / false branches.
• The switch statement allows you to use
an ordinal value to determine how a
program will branch.
• The switch statement can evaluate an
integer type or character type variable
and make decisions based on the value.
• The break and default keywords are
optional.
The switch Statement
The switch Statement – Fall Through
The Java switch statement is fall-through. It means it executes all
statements after the first match if a break statement is not present.
Java Switch Statement with String
• Java allows us to use strings in switch expression since Java SE 7.
• The case statement should be string literal.
Java Switch Statement: Empty Case
Empty case means OR!

No output? Why?
Range Check Using If Statement
If statement with relational operator can be used to check if a value is
within a valid range.
